Details of Event
He was pushing a full tub of dirt up bank in a stall while another man pulled, the idea being to ease it off some loose dirt in the road. Unfortunately, the front locker dropped out and the tub ran down the incline of 1 in 10 and crushed him against a prop, fatally injuring him. He died on 6th October.
